Theifs in the music world.

WOrshippers and worship leaders either belong to the Lord or belong to the world.
I have sat in many churches over the years and watched and listened and watched and bowed my head in absolute brokeness because of what was before my eyes and going in my ears as people were singing these lyrics that were so incredibly selfish. Nothing about the blood or repentance or deliverance. Nothing that truelly exalted the King of Kings amongst the congregation. But it certainly moved there flesh.I could see the soulish spirit rise up like a snake. The Representation of Singers in WOrship is either to glorify the Lord or its to glorify the flesh. You make the decision.
I learnt an incredible lesson from a wonderful sister of the Lord years ago in Hong Kong, who was working in one of the hard areas. Men were getting saved there and they had come from areas of prostitution and really hard perversions. I was going to sing in this nice sundress and
lipstick that was red. It was a hot stinking day. And Jacky came to me and was so beautiful
but asked me to cover myself with a tshirt and take my red lipstick off and loud eyeshadow. The reason being, It was a stumbling block for these new brothers I enjoyed my few seconds of selfishness. I repented and quickly went about changing the situation and picture as I could see the bigger picture for the glory of the Lord. It was there salvation that was paramount.
This also applies to music for me. There are thieves in the courts of music, people who add verses to hyms songs that have been purged through fire and tribulation,conviction of holiness that are owned by the public domain free to all, and some people have taken it apon themselves to add there soulish verses and copyright it to themselves and get paid.
Judge according to the scriptures on all things, dont follow like a sheep the new "I am Holy Fad"
WOrship belongs to GOd, not to any denomination. Be with people of like faith, the faithful to Jesus and his word, not a cause. The diamonds in the Church are the elderly who have been faithful through the many storms they have come through and not sould out. Seek them out and learn.
Be desperate for Jesus like I am.

Godbless you
